Gene transfer to human joints: progress toward a gene therapy of arthritis.
This article describes the clinical application of gene therapy to a nonlethal disease, rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Intraarticular transfer of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) cDNA reduces disease in animal models of RA. Whether this procedure is safe and feasible in humans was addressed in a phase I clinical study involving nine postmenopausal women with advanced RA who required unilateral sia...
متن کاملSafety and biodistribution assessment of sc-rAAV2.5IL-1Ra administered via intra-articular injection in a mono-iodoacetate-induced osteoarthritis rat model
Interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA), and gene transfer of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) holds promise for OA treatment. A preclinical safety and biodistribution study evaluated a self-complementary adeno-associated viral vector carrying rat IL-1Ra transgene (sc-rAAV2.5rIL-1Ra) at 5 × 10(8), 5 × 10(9), or 5 × 10(10) vg/knee, or human IL-...
متن کاملOptimization of scAAVIL-1ra In Vitro and In Vivo to Deliver High Levels of Therapeutic Protein for Treatment of Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) affects over 40 million people annually. We evaluated interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) gene transfer in an equine model based on IL-1ra protein therapy which inhibits inflammation through blocking IL-1. Using the self-complementary adeno-associated virus (scAAV)IL-1ra equine gene as a starting construct, we optimized the transgene cassette by analyzing promoters (c...

Introduction & Objective: Interleukine-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) is a powerful anti-inflammatory cytokine which limits the biological effects of IL-1. Due to structural similarity between IL-1 and its antagonist, IL-1RA competitively binds to IL-1 receptor which leads to no signal transduction. Therefore , it is applied in the treatment of patients with inflammatory diseases such as Rheu...
متن کاملTherapeutic gene transfer for rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a severe autoimmune systemic disease. Chronic synovial inflammation results in destruction of the joints. No conventional treatment is efficient in RA. Gene therapy of RA targets mainly the players of inflammation or articular destruction: TNF-alpha or IL-1 blocking agents (such as anti-TNF-alpha monoclonal antibodies, soluble TNF-alpha receptor, type II soluble rec...
